Nearly 3,000 Focus on the Family supporters — mostly CitizenLink readers — have sent e-mails to the Radio Hall of Fame, thanking the organization for standing by the election of Dr. James Dobson's radio program. Some gay activists want the honor taken away from Focus on the Family.
Dr. Dobson's radio broadcast earned the most public votes in the “national active” category, beating out Bob Costas, Dr. Laura Schlessinger and Stern. To qualify, a broadcaster must have contributed to the radio industry on a national level for at least 10 years.
Bruce DuMont, chairman of the hall of fame, said Dr. Dobson meets the requirements for induction.
“Our only criterion is the number of years in the business," he told the Chicago Reader. "He’s been broadcasting more than 15 years on more than 3,000 stations. He’s qualified.”
TAKE ACTION
Thank Bruce DuMont, chairman of the National Radio Hall of Fame, for recognizing the importance of family.
